Abstract

This Article offers an overview and evaluation of Taiwan's and China's draft laws for protecting animals, which were drafted by countries that have not experienced comprehensive animal welfare movements. The Article focuses on interpreting the statutory offenses for cruelty and animal welfare infringe­ments, and the problems and deficiencies of the draft laws' sub­stance and enforcement mechanisms-the most critical factors affecting the effectiveness of the animal protection legislation.
